I found Five Minute Friday during my first round of 31Days a couple of years ago... it's an amazing community and all are welcome! We 'meet up' on Twitter on Thursday nights and chat until the prompt is given... then we all write for 5minutes and hit publish (I tend to write for five minutes, and then make a graphic and add a photo... and then hit publish!)
